Invasive Plants & Animals

How do you know if a plant or animal is an invasive species? What does that mean? An invasive species is any non-native plant or animal that has been introduced into a habitat and flourishes to such a point that it can crowd out the indigenous or native flora and fauna. Invasie species are highly adaptable and are aggressive in their spread.
